Hunter with Hounds 1755 - 1765

This porcelain sculpture, “Hunter with Hounds,” was produced by the Höchst Manufactory between 1755-1765, showcasing the skilled craftsmanship of the renowned German porcelain factory. The intricate details, vibrant colors, and realistic portrayal of a hunter with his three hounds highlight the 18th century’s fascination with the natural world.
